I was studying hard for four hours this morning, and I was rewarded with steak lunch. Mr. Hayashi wanted to send me off in style to the United States, so he treated me and some other teachers to a big steak lunch. We made a drive over to north Takasago, and ate at a restaurant called, “The Western Restaurant”. <\/p>\n
Mr. Hayashi sat us down at our seats in a particular order, and he ordered my meal for me. The steak came and was quite good – it was soaked with sauce and it was delicious. I had the 180 gram steak, and I scarfed it right up. <\/p>\n
After the steak lunch, Mr. Hayashi was nice enough to drop me off at the station, so I could take the train right home, and that wrapped up my workday. I spent the afternoon punching in information into my flashcard program, and then quizzing myself on the new information. <\/p>\n
For dinner I decided to go over to the yakitori and say my farewells to the master. The place was pretty empty, and so I had a good chance to talk a little bit with the master. He was doing pretty well and cooked me up a great dinner. I tried some new things, and washed it down with a couple of beers. <\/p>\n
Now I’m back home and looking at all the stuff that I have to fit into my suitcase – it’ll be a challenge, I think. Tomorrow I’ll try to cram it in there – it’s almost time to leave!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
